208: Chapter 158: The Fierce Little Sister-in-Law_2 208: Chapter 158: The Fierce Little Sister-in-Law_2 Li Aiyuan and Second Aunt Liang were chatting away enthusiastically, in sharp contrast to his reserved nature.
Yes, he had successfully taken over Lin Baohe’s role.
Oh, and there was another one nearly as reserved as he was — Zhou Mikang.
After making promises to Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan, he had quietly sat aside as a listener, even when Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan later expressed doubts, he said nothing.
In fact, given his personality, that earlier guarantee was already the utmost he could do.
If it weren’t for the fact that it was he who had unilaterally pushed for this marriage, he probably wouldn’t have made such an effort.
…
“Third sister-in-law, we’ve been looking forward to you joining us for many years.
You don’t know how desperately my mom has been wanting a daughter-in-law for Third; my dad says she even worries about it in her dreams.”
“Yeah, third sister-in-law, if it weren’t for being afraid my child would be older than Third Brother’s children, why would I have stayed childless after getting married?
He really held back.”
“Third sister-in-law, how did you and Third Brother et?”
“Third sister-in-law, who liked whom first, you or Third Brother?”
“I guess it was third sister-in-law who fell for Third Brother first.”
“Hmm, I think so too.
With Third Brother’s stubborn personality, even if he liked Third Sister-in-law, he definitely wouldn’t have made the first move.”
“…”
In the alcove, Chuxia was surrounded by siblings and cousins listening to their incessant inquiries, which overwheld her.
Whose question should she answer?
Moreover, aside from Zhou Jiping and Zhou Xiangping, the rest clearly believed her marriage with Zhou Mikang was the result of her obstinately forcing the issue.
Even if she told the truth, they probably wouldn’t believe her.
Eventually, she simply let everyone talk as they pleased and sipped her tea in small gulps — if not sipping tea, she had to maintain a smile, and she feared her face would stiffen with the effort.
“You guys, one at a ti, do you want to talk soone to death?” Yu Tao, the eldest sister-in-law, laughed as she pushed everyone back and sat down beside Chuxia, “Don’t mind them; they’re a bunch of troublemakers.”
“Big sister-in-law, you’re playing favorites!” A round-faced girl pouted playfully, “Before, you always doted on the most, and now you say I’m troubleso.”
“If you don’t join in the chaos, I’ll continue to dote on you.” Yu Tao chuckled as she looked at Zhou Jiping and Zhou Xiangping, “You two agree, don’t you?”
“Of course!” Zhou Xiangping quickly embraced the round-faced girl, “Co, let fourth sister pamper you.”
“Ah!” The girl rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue, “I’m done for, fourth sister is squeezing to death!” Then she opened her eyes and giggled, “Third sister-in-law, I’m Xu Shuxian, you still rember , right?”
“Of course.” Chuxia smiled and nodded, thinking to herself that she might forget soone else but not you, especially with such a ladylike na yet sporting a tomboy cut and attitude—could it be a case of opposite extres?
Looking at the bashful young man behind her, Xu Shuxian’s brother, Xu Yan, it was clear there was so gender confusion compared to Xu Shuxian.
The boy blushed whenever he spoke, his voice soft and gentle.
It was indeed hard to understand how Little Aunt Zhou and Division Commander Xu could have raised such a reserved son.
“Were you the one who chased after Third Brother?” At this mont, a tall woman in her mid-twenties turned the conversation back.
She was Third Uncle Zhou’s eldest daughter, Zhou Aiping, twenty-three years old, married, and mother to a daughter.
Feeling the hostility in her voice, Chuxia’s brows furrowed, and the smile on her face gradually faded, “No.”
“Not you who did the chasing?” Zhou Aiping raised an eyebrow, scrutinizing her, “Then what did Third Brother see in you?
Don’t even compare yourself to Sister iru, even the girls my mom introduced aren’t in your league.”
“Zhou Aiping!” Zhou Xiangping frowned and glared at her, “Are you out of your mind?
Just because Third Brother didn’t choose any of those won your mom introduced, you’re bitter?
Now, in front of everyone, let clarify one thing — Third Sister-in-law is the one Third Brother pursued relentlessly.
If not for Third Brother’s persistence, Third Sister-in-law definitely wouldn’t have agreed to the engagent, nor would she have agreed to marry him.
Don’t let your foolish thoughts run wild; she is Third Sister-in-law, and from today, anyone who opposes her is opposing , Zhou Xiangping!
Watch out, or I won’t recognize you when I turn my back on you!”
Zhou Jiping also sternly said, “I’m with her, too.
I, Zhou Jiping, will always stand by my sister and sister-in-law.”
Feeling protected felt really good!
The sting in Chuxia gradually retracted; just now, she thought if nobody spoke up for her, she’d risk having today’s engagent annulled just to give this annoying woman a piece of her mind.
Did she seem easy to bully because she was physically weak and from a modest family?
She wasn’t always physically weak, nor was she from a modest family before.
When had she ever endured such trivial agitation?
Hmph!
Uncle may endure, but Auntie won’t!
Zhou Aiping’s face could not hold the embarrassnt: “Are you two crazy dogs?
Biting for an outsider?”
Zhou Xiangping pointed directly outward: “Get out!”
This Little Aunt, with her fiery temper, heh, she liked that!
As she thought this, a bright smile spread across Chuxia’s face, and she unconsciously leaned closer to Zhou Xiangping.
Feeling the future third sister-in-law’s affection, Zhou Xiangping sat even straighter, looking down on Zhou Aiping whose face was turning red, “If you don’t want to leave, then play mute from now on.”
As her face shifted from cloudy to calm, Zhou Aiping gradually composed herself and smiled at Zhou Jiping and Zhou Xiangping: “This is my Third Brother’s engagent party, of course, I’m attending.
Even if my previous question upset you, that’s because you don’t know the full story.
Ask the other siblings, don’t they think the sa as I do?” (To be continued.
